THE OPPORTUNITY
We're looking for an exceptional Video Editor & AI Content Producer with a great eye for visual storytelling and genuine excitement about our mission. You'll primarily edit our weekly YouTube films, contribute to daily short-form content, and occasionally help with ambitious documentaries exploring Daoism, consciousness, personal transformation and nature.
We also want to pioneer an AI-powered content production system — not by sacrificing creativity, quality, heart, integrity or our distinctive visual identity, but by automating repetitive work and freeing more time for meaningful creative decisions. You don't need to have built AI workflows before, but you must be excited to experiment, learn and develop them.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
• Edit approximately one polished, emotionally compelling YouTube video each week, working from clear, vetted briefs. Long-form quality takes priority.
• Bring excellent narrative structure, pacing, visuals, music and sound design, while maintaining and elevating our visual identity. Creative suggestions welcome.
• Help produce engaging daily short-form content for YouTube Shorts, Instagram and other platforms, using efficient repurposing workflows.
• Experiment with AI-assisted footage review, transcription, rough cuts, moment selection and repetitive production tasks. Progress from AI-assisted workflows towards a scalable, human-directed content system.
• Occasionally contribute to more ambitious documentary films.
WHAT WE VALUE
ESSENTIAL:
• Exceptional storytelling instincts: narrative, pacing, emotion and audience engagement.
• Excellent visual taste: composition, music, sound design and distinctive aesthetics.
• Strong professional video editing experience and ability to deliver polished films.
• Enthusiasm for AI experimentation and building efficient creative workflows.
• Genuine alignment with our mission and desire to make a positive impact.
• Fluent English and strong remote communication.
HIGHLY DESIRABLE:
• Understanding of YouTube hooks, retention and audience psychology.
• Adobe Premiere Pro experience (other professional editing platforms welcome).
DESIRABLE:
• Existing AI editing experience; documentary filmmaking experience; interest in Daoism, Tai Chi, Qigong, philosophy or consciousness.
We value creative judgement, portfolio and potential over formal qualifications or years of experience. We want a talented storyteller who's hungry to master AI, not an automation expert who compromises on craft.
WHY JOIN?
Your work can reach hundreds of thousands or millions of people and share teachings that genuinely change lives. You'll help shape the future of creative production, develop valuable AI filmmaking skills, work on meaningful projects and collaborate with a kind, curious, international team that values creativity, ownership and integrity.
PRACTICAL DETAILS
• Fully remote, worldwide; fluent English required.
• Full-time commitment, approximately 40 hours/week.
• Monthly contractor retainer: $2,600 USD (equivalent to $15/hour at 40 hours/week).
• Primary focus: one high-quality YouTube film per week.
• Secondary focus: support daily short-form output and develop AI workflows.
• We judge success by compelling finished films that match the brief and visual identity, dependable weekly delivery, constructive collaboration and documented progress towards efficient AI-assisted production. Long-form quality comes before short-form volume.
